DURBAR ROYAL IN KATSINA [23:56]
Nigeria has many local festivals that date back to the time before the arrival of the major religions, and which are still occasions for masquerade and dance. The local festivals cover an enormous range of events, fromMada Dancers harvest festivals and betrothal festivals, to the investing of a new chief and funerals. It seems odd to Western ways of thinking to see a funeral as something to be celebrated. But for many of the tribes, death means joining the ancestors, and so the deceased must get a good send-off. The dances that were once performed by members of each village have now been taken over by professional troupes, who tour villages performing at each local festival. The Muslim year revolves around the three major festivals, Id Al Fitri, Id Al Kabir, and Id Al Maulud. The main event in the Islamic calendar is the festival that celebrates the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is a month-long observation of fasting. During the hours of sunlight no one must eat or drink; some very religious people will not even swallow. Each evening at dusk is a celebration of sorts, as the family prepares to break the fast. In towns people do so by going out to one of the markets, where stallholders will be prepared for the hungry people. At the end of Ramadan there is a celebration, which varies in style among the different Muslim tribes.

African Safaris [01:35]
The Hunting Consortium in Africa No other continent on earth has captivated hunters' hearts as has Africa, for no other continent can boast the richness or diversity of game, or the uniqueness in hunting experience. The "dark" continent, with its myriad of ecosystems and biotypes has been the "Mecca" for big game hunters for more than 200 years. The Hunting Consortium offers a full range African safari options in 16 African countries and our staff has personally hunted and or visited every concession or area we recommend. The best years are passing now for this hunting paradise. Exploding human populations across Africa are consuming more and more land for agriculture and settlement. Dangerous game has been pushed into ever shrinking reserves or simply exterminated by governments to make way for the ever growing numbers of people and livestock. Areas that just 10 years ago saw herds of buffalo numbering in thousands are now devoid of game and the trend continues. The times have already drastically changed since the days of Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Ruark, and Ernest Hemingway. These are the last of the "good old days"! For more than 30 years The Hunting Consortium has arranged African safaris for a wide variety of customers, from middle-income "once in a lifetime" hunters, to wealthy collectors who hunt every season in Africa. We pride ourselves in giving expert advice geared to individual requirements and in tailoring every safari to the needs and goals of each client ...
